Coverly Professional Services was honored to nominate Dr. Janis Shinkawa, co-founder and medical director of Ohana Pet Hospital for the National Association of Women Business Owners’ (NAWBO) 2017 Woman Business Owner of the Year. Among thousands of members, Dr. Jan rose to the top of the outstanding field and was named one of three national finalists.

“NAWBO members set the bar high in all their endeavors. We look forward each year to recognizing a woman business owner that embodies the entrepreneurial spirit and continues to push the limits of what is possible,” said Kathy Warnick NAWBO National Chair. “NAWBO is proud to be the unified voice of all women business owners. The three women we recognize this year represent the diversity of industries and interests we support through NAWBO programs. Even though they come from different sectors of industry, their desire to build a thriving business and give back to others unites them and makes them worthy of distinction.”

“Our chapter is proud and excited that one of our members is a finalist for this prestigious award,” said Elaine Hollifield, NAWBO Ventura County President and owner of Hollifield Creative. “Dr. Jan and everyone at Ohana Pet Hospital have earned and deserve every accolade. They are wonderful role models for a successful business that contributes greatly to our community.”
